It's not AOL's fault, as AOL's software provides pure TCP/IP connection and has IE as the browser. I get hotmail e-mails from my cousin without any problems (comes with both plain text and HTML), and I get AOL mails from my ancient account (which I still keep around) without any problems. Your friend must have turned off the plain text sending feature by accident -- the option is there, just look for it. -Mark -- Mark K. Kim http://www.cbreak.org/mark/ PGP key available upon request.
